Whoever said Brandy Norwood lacks personality definitely needs to #CutThatCheck. Surfacing into the instagram servers of yesterday and leading into today, the R&B singer has been spotted in food establishments, kitchens, and cars attacking the music industry from another realm. The 'Vocal Bible' exudes beauty, and humor as she has began playfully creating jingles for top sandwich connoisseur and restaurant, Subway, as well as highly praised energy drink, '5 hour energy'. In the 3 different clips, we witness the 'Put It Down' slayer croon some of the funniest jingles to date, using her signature rasp, vocal acrobats, and humorous personality that has sent her followers in. Many agree that Subway and the highly rated '5 hour Energy' need to #CutThatCheck "ASSSSSSSAAAAAAaaaaAP" If you didnt know, Brandy has always been this goofy, and she loves to laugh and make others laugh. I wonder who she'll take on next! For now get your laugh on with the Diva below!
We also want to congratulate Brandy and Chris Brown on their 2013 Soul Train Award nomination for 'Best Collaboration'

Lebanon's inability to appoint a fully fledged civil aviation authority has led to failures to pass ICAO audits, but has not raised safety concerns about airlines operating within the country, a senior Lebanese civil aviation official told AIN recently in Dubai.
Air Transport and Cargo
News and issues relating to international air transport and cargo carriers, national airlines and regional airlines, including aircraft, engines, personnel, acquisitions, accidents, safety, security and training.
UK carrier EasyJet said it will apply new technologies, including operating small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), to maintain its Airbus fleet. The airline is also developing 3D virtual reality and augmented reality technology, customized engineering applications and early fault prognosis. It is installing Panasonic Toughpad tablets in cockpits fleetwide.
Speaking Wednesday at the 39th annual Regional Airline Association Convention in St. Louis, Republic Airways CEO Bryan Bedford called for a fundamental shift in the "model" on which pilot unions negotiate for compensation, characterizing the imbalance of pay between first officers and captains as irrational and counterproductive.
Pratt & Whitney Canada's FAST (Flight Data Acquisition Storage and Transmission System) engine diagnostic, prognostic and health-management (DPHM) system recently received a Transport Canada Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for use on Bombardier Dash 8 Series 200 and 300 turboprops, P&WC announced Wednesday on the occasion of the annual Regional Airline Association Convention in St. Louis. Transport Canada STC No. SA12-70 now includes Bombardier Models Q200, Q300 and Q400.
The South Korean government has prohibited the country's airlines from setting up low-cost joint venture operations with foreign carriers. This week's order from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MLIT) came in response to demands by some local low-cost carriers (LCCs) that the domestic market deserves protection from foreign-backed competition.
U.S. FAA Administrator Michael Huerta on Tuesday made his second appearance in three years at the annual Regional Airline Association Convention.
The European Regions Airline Association and the Regional Airline Association formalized a "long-standing working relationship" during a signing ceremony on Tuesday during the RAA's annual convention in St. Louis.
Air transport industry groups and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) have agreed a framework for developing a binding mandate for aircraft tracking. At a two-day meeting that concluded on May 13 at ICAO's Montreal headquarters, participants agreed to encourage voluntary expansion of flight monitoring by airlines ahead of an initial set of proposed new requirements being submitted to the United Aviation body by the end of September.
Indian airlines are facing stiffer competition and downward pressure on air fares with 40 new aircraft due to join the country's fleet, taking the total capacity to around 400 jets by year-end. Existing carriers are now facing new competition in the shape of AirAsia India, which has just received its air operator permit (AOP) for domestic services.
Embraer and SkyWest Airlines announced at the Regional Airline Association convention on Tuesday that they have reached a 12-year component management service agreement by which Embraer will provide support for the carrier's entire fleet of E175s. The agreement includes more than 160 repairable part numbers, covering 21 ATA (Air Transport Association) chapters of the SkyWest Airlines E175 fleet. Embraer also signed a 10-year contract with the airline to provide the Ahead-Pro system.

The list partition transform of a sequence a(n) for which a(0)=1 is illustrated by:
b(0) = 1
b(1) = -a(1)
b(2) = -a(2) + 2 a(1)^2
b(3) = -a(3) + 6 a(2)a(1) - 6 a(1)^3
b(4) = -a(4) + 8 a(3)a(1) + 6 a(2)^2 - 36 a(2)*a(1)^2 + 24 a(1)^4
The unsigned coefficients are A049019 with a leading 1. The sign is dependent on the partition as evident from inspection (replace a(n)'s by -1).
Expressed umbrally,
exp(a(.)*x)*exp(b(.)*x) = 1, i.e., (a(.)+b(.))^n = 1 for n=0 and 0 for all other values of n.
Expressed recursively,
b(0) = 1, b(n) = -sum(j=1,...,n) binomial(n,j)*a(j)*b(n-j); which is conditionally self-inverse, i.e., the roles of a(k) and b(k) may be reversed with a(0) = b(0) = 1.
Expressed in matrix form, b(n) form the first column of B = matrix inverse of A .
A = Pascal matrix diagonally multipied by a(n), i.e., A(n,k) = binomial(n,k)*a(n-k).
Some examples of reciprocal pairs of sequences under these operations are:
1) A084358 and -A000262 with the first term set to 1.
2) (1,-1,0,0,...) and (0!,1!,2!,3!,...) with the unsigned associated matrices A128229 and A094587.
3) (1,-1,-1,-1,...) and A000670.
4) A000110 and A000587.
5) (1,-2,-2,0,0,0,...) and (0! c(1),1! c(2),2! c(3),3! c(4),...) where c(n) = A000129(n) with the associated matrices A110327 and A110330.
6) (1,-2,2,0,0,0,...) and (1!,2!,3!,4!,...).
7) Sequences of rising and signed lowering factorials form reciprocal pairs where a(n) = (-1)^n m!/(m-n)! and b(n) = (m-1+n)!/(m-1)! for m=0,1,2,... .
Denote the action of the list partition transform on the sequence a(.) or an invertible matrix M by LPT(a) = b or LPT(M)= M^(-1).
If the matrix equation M = exp(T) also holds, then exp[a(.)*T] * exp[b(.)*T] = exp[(a+b)*T] = Identity matrix because (a(.)+b(.))^n = delta(n), the Kronecker delta.
Therefore, [exp(a*T)]^(-1) = exp[b*T] = exp[LPT(a)*T] = LPT[exp(a*T)].
The fundamental Pascal (A007318), unsigned Lah (A105278) and associated Laguerre matrices can be generated by exponentiation of special infinitesimal matrices (see A132440, A132710 and A132681) such that finding LPT(a) amounts to diagonally multiplying any of the fundamental matrices by a(.), followed by matrix inversion and then extraction of the b(.) factors from the first column (simplest for the Pascal formulae above).
Conversely, the inverses of matrices formed by diagonally multiplying the three fundamental matrices by a(.) are given by diagonally multiplying the fundamental matrices by b(.).
If LPT(M) is defined differently as application of the top formula to a(n) = M^n, then b(n) = (-M)^n and the formalism could even be applied to more general sequences of matrices M(.), providing the reciprocal of exp[t*M(.)].
The group of fundamental lower triangular matrices M = exp(T) such that LPT[exp(a*T)] = exp[LPT(a)*T] = [exp[(a)*T]]^(-1) are obtained by infinitesimal generator matrices of the form T =
t(0), 0;
0, t(1), 0;
0, 0, t(2), 0;
0, 0, 0, t(3), 0;
T^m has trivially vanishing terms except along the m'th subdiagonal, which is a sequence of generalized factorials:
[ t(0)*t(1)...t(m-2)*t(m-1), t(1)*t(2)...t(m-1)*t(m), t(2)*t(3)...t(m)*t(m+1), ... ].
Therefore the principal submatrices of T (given by setting t(j) = 0 for j>n-1) are nilpotent with at least [Tsub_n]^(n+1) = 0.
The general group of matrices GM[a(.)] = exp[a(.)*T] can also be obtained through diagonal multiplication of M = exp(T) by the sequence a(.), as in the Pascal matrix example above and their inverses by diagonal multiplication by LPT(a) = b.
Weighted-mappings interpretation for the top partition equation:
Given n pre-nodes (Pre) and k post-nodes (Post), each Pre is connected to only one Post and each Post has at least one Pre connected to it (surjections or onto functions/maps). Weight each Post by -a(m) where m is the number of connections to the Post.
Weight each map by the product of the Post weights and multiply by the number of maps that share the same connectivity. Sum over the possible mappings for n Pre. The result is b(n).
E.g., b(3) = [ 3 Pre to 1 Post ] + [ 3 Pre to 2 Post ] + [ 3 Pre to 3 Post ]
= [1 map with 1 Post with 3 connections] + [ 6 maps with 1 Post with 2 connections and 1 Post with 1 connection] + [6 maps with 3 Post with 1 connection each]
= -a(3) + 6 * [-a(2)*-a(1)] + 6 * [-a(1)*-a(1)*-a(1)].

San Jose State Whips NMSU 47-7
David Fales threw for 276 yards and four touchdowns on Saturday and San Jose State rolled to a 47-7…
|Photos from the SJSU win over BYU
It what's turning out to be a magical season in the rebuilding of the San Jose State football program, the Spartans announced themselves to the rest of the college football world with a 20-14 win over BYU. The game was national televised on ESPN2. SJSU is now 9-2 on the year.
San Jose State jumped out to an early lead, and were up 20-7 at halftime. The second-half became a defensive battle until late in the 4th when BYU mounted a comeback. However, a crushing hit by Spartan linebacker Keith Smith forced the ball out of Cougar quarterback Riley Nelsen's hands and Vince Buhagiar made the recovery to seal the 20-14 win and put the Spartans at 9-2 on the season. Next Satruday will be the season finale against Louisiana Tech at Spartan Stadium.

The HTC One first debuted in silver, and I suspect using Robert Downey Jr. to advertise this handset might just be a match made in heaven, because like Iron Man, the phone has also appeared in shades of red and black (though not yellow). Now Best Buy is rolling in a new version of the HTC One that the Iron Patriot could proudly hold to his ear, a blue version that's exclusive to the big box retailer launching on September 15.
The Droid DNA was sort of an unprecedented phone. It was the first device in the US to feature a full 1080p display – something that has since become the norm. But at the time, its 440 PPI was absolutely mind-blowing. While mobile technology has undoubtedly progressed since the DNA's release, this phone is still able to hold its own in nearly every situation.
However, if you're a DNA owner who has grown weary with Sense UI, good news: official CyanogenMod nightly builds are now available.
The week is just getting started, but HTC is dropping new devices like it's going out of style. No, it's not that rumored One Max we've been hearing about. The company is breathing new life into the Desire brand with the mid-range Desire 601 and the entry-level Desire 300. HTC is also announcing a Bluetooth subwoofer accessory for BoomSound devices and a new "Vivid Blue" HTC One.
The HTC Butterfly S is not too unlike the HTC One, just with a larger screen, a slightly more powerful processor, and a micro SD card slot. With its 3200mAh battery, this is a beefier phone for people with perhaps more demanding needs than HTC's flagship phone can satisfy. It still has 2GB of RAM, the same UltraPixel camera, Beats Audio sound, and the latest version of Sense. The catch?
Five HTC designers including VP of Product Design Thomas Chien, R&D Director Wu Chien Hung, and Senior Manager of the design team Justin Huang (who sketched the HTC One's iconic design) have been interrogated and arrested under suspicion of expense fraud and stealing trade secrets following a complaint from HTC Chairwoman Cher Wang.
Chien, Wu, and Huang had planned on setting up a new design company focused on the Chinese market, intending to resign after receiving mid-year bonuses yesterday.
The HTC One mini is, in many respects, very similar to its larger, older sibling, the HTC One. It has a [mostly] aluminum body, BoomSound speakers (though they've been noticeably downgraded), and HTC's Ultrapixel camera. It runs Android 4.2.2 with Sense 5, and its 720p S-LCD2 display with Gorilla Glass 3 is breathtakingly good for a "mid-range" phone.
So, how does it cost a full $170 less than the HTC One?
The biggest brother of the One family has once again smiled for the camera on Chinese site ePrice, showing off a few things that we've yet to see on the 5.9-inch beasty. For starters, this model feature a removable back, but before you get too excited about that, we'd like to throw out the reminder that most HTC devices for the Chinese market have removable backs. That's just a thing over there.
As promised, the HTC One Mini is now available from AT&T for $99.99 with a two-year contract, $349.99 for one year, or $429.99 month-to-month.
The mini-fied HTC One, for those who may have forgotten, is a 4.3" device with a 720p resolution (that's ~340ppi), an 1800mAh battery, Snapdragon 400 dual-core processor at 1.4GHz, 16GB built-in storage, and 1GB of RAM. Though its screen and specs are downsized, the phone still carries some of the hardware - including front facing speakers and Ultrapixel camera - that made the HTC One a hit.
HTC fans who prefer Verizon (or who have no choice), your long wait is over. After months of rumors and teases, the HTC One flagship is finally available on Verizon, the last of the four major American carriers to get the phone. It turned up on the Verizon web store early this morning right on schedule for $199.99 on-contract, or $599.99 if you want it "free" and clear.
Verizon's One is identical to those on AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint, except for the obvious CDMA and LTE radio bands.
HTC's yet-unannounced Zara isn't exactly a stranger to the rumor circuit. We've heard all the important specs, but @evleaks has just given us a look at what appears to be a slightly censored press shot.
For those who may not remember, the Zara is rumored to be the midrange lovechild of the One and Desire lines, with (according to @evleaks) a dual core 1.2GHz processor, a 4.5" qHD (960x540) display, 1GB RAM, 8GB internal storage (expandable via microSD), a 2100mAh battery pack, and Android 4.3 with Sense 5.5 on top.

AUSTIN- From Sen. Tommy Williams - Sen. Tommy Williams, R-The Woodlands, Sen. John Whitmire, D-Houston, and Rep. Dan Huberty, R-Humble, announced their intention today (Tuesday, Jan. 22) to file legislation to enhance safety for students and school personnel.
The "Texas School District Security Act" would give school boards, parents and taxpayers' local choices and control in hiring licensed peace officers to protect school campuses. The plan is a response to the school-shooting tragedy last month at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Ct.
The plan would rely on professional police officers to defend our children and schools for local communities that want this option.
The three legislators characterize their plan as "a Texas solution to save lives without sacrificing freedoms" while noting "school communities are smart enough to figure out what works best for them and how much they're willing to commit."
"We can offer a solution that will save lives. We can do so without overreactions and gun control and with the best interests of our students, teachers, faculty and communities. We can also let local school districts decide for themselves," Sen. Williams said. "A blanket state mandate wont work. Nor will a one-size-fits-all policy. Our idea emphasizes local choice and local control."
"I support Senator Williams in proposing a plan to allow school districts an option to develop their individual security plans," stated Senator Whitmire, chairman of the Senate Criminal Justice Committee. "I trust our school boards and parents to decide what is best for their schools and this will allow them that opportunity."
Representative Huberty served as president of the Humble School Board before his election to the Texas Legislature.
"I understand first-hand the importance of local control and how this law will allow school districts, school boards and their constituents the ability to decide for themselves how to best use their resources to protect our most precious assets --- our children," Rep. Huberty said. "I look forward to working with Senators Williams and Whitmire and my House colleagues during this session to pass this important piece of legislation."
Additional protection of students and schools wont come without additional cost, noted Sen. Williams, new chairman of the Senate Finance Committee.
"I know just how tight state and local budgets are these days. I also know that we need to pay as we go, avoid running up debt, and empower local school districts to decide what the best policy is for them," the Senate Finance chairman said. "This plan also underscores accountability to voters."
Many Texas school districts are already stretched to the maximum but should be able to decide for themselves if they want to invest in increased, dedicated safety protections, the officials said while outlining their "Texas School District Security Act."
Modeled after current law, which allows municipalities to vote to adopt Crime Control Districts, the legislation, being drafted, would do the following:
Allow individual independent school districts to vote on and approve dedicated funding for enhanced school security measures.
Place trained, licensed and armed peace officers in all schools within a district - or only those in which the school district chooses.
Provide funding for enhanced screening and security measures at public K through 12 schools.
Allow for dedicated sales tax (if available under the state cap), or a dedicated property tax specifically for crime control and enhanced security based on local school district votes and desires. The revenue generated from a local option School District Security Fund would be separate from all other district funding.
Provide transparency and accountability by requiring ISDs to hold public hearings on what is to be included and provided by the "Texas School District Security Act". Costs will be spelled out and voters will know the estimated amount of the dedicated property or sales tax to cover those costs before holding an election on the issue.
Require a review and renewal election every 5 years by voters.
Repeal of the "Texas School District Security Act" will be allowed with a repeal petition that contains valid signatures from voters in the district equal to at least 50 percent of the number of votes cast in the election creating the special district.
The elected and accountable local school board would also serve as the board of the "Texas School District Security Act".
A constitutional amendment may be required to give school districts authority to fund the School District Security Act. The bill is still being drafted and the funding details are part of the process. We are confident that Texas voters will support such an amendment, if necessary, to help make our schools safer.
"Voters in school districts across Texas ought to be able to decide for themselves if they want to dedicate some funds - that are accountable and transparent - to enhance the protection of our school children and our schools," Sen. Williams said.
"I believe we can offer solutions which dont infringe on the lawful right to bear arms. I know each of us will sleep better knowing our local communities have options to fund safety measures so our children can learn and grow in safe environments," Sen. Williams said.
Senator Williams represents Senate District 4 covering all or portions of Montgomery, Chambers, Harris, Jefferson and Galveston Counties, and serves as Chairman of the Texas Senate Finance Committee and as a member of the Senate State Affairs, Open Government and Administration Committees.

One in 20 corporate PCs infested by bots
Seems like more "doom and gloom"
I think it's good to report stories like this, but it would be much better if some positive was included.
The link to the PDF from Damballa leads to nothing more than a sales paper.
If so many computers are really infected, PLEASE publish a list of "best" methods of detection. Surely somebody markets software that can detect and remove these bots.
Has there ever been a public demonstration to show that a computer is really "infected" by a bot, and that the leading AS/AV software fails to find the bot? I have scoured the internet searching for such info, but can not find anything.
I believe corporations such as Damballa release this kind of "study" data for marketing purposes, and that in most cases it is fabricated. If they are really legitimate, then why not offer some specific help to people? If 1 in 20 "corporate" computers are infected, then how many "personal" computers are infected, and who is doing something to help get them cleaned up???
I apologize for sounding negative, but I find this very irritating. These "sky is falling" stories hit the news frequently, and it's always the same - "The world is in trouble", while making NO mention of any potential solution.
The Damballa "study" does not name any defense software it tested, nor does it state a method of infection. How do the infected machines become infected? Is it by visiting a malicious web site? Opening infected email? How exactly does the process work?
Given that almost all corporations have multiple software applications, and sometimes even hardware, in place as defense, I can only assume that if 1 in 20 of them become infected, then a much higher number of "home" computers must be infected.
It would be nice if somebody would publish a recommended course of action along with this type of article.

For years I had assumed that the Grimm Fairy Tales series was an anthology horror series that offered up scantily clad victims who suffered horrible deaths based on old childhood folklore. Honestly though, the part of me that grew up with Friday the 13 movie marathons and Texas Chainsaw Massacre shop class jokes wanted to check the book out, but many comic shops didn't support the series and I allowed myself to move on without paying it much attention. A few years later, I finally managed to gra...4 out of 4 found this review helpful.

NEW YORK -- Donald Fehr says a new proposal in collective bargaining is "about as good" as the NHL Players' Association can do.
The offer was tabled during a meeting on Wednesday morning.
Fehr, the NHLPA executive director, indicated the union had put forward a percentage-based proposal that takes into account the damage caused by the lockout.
He said the sides are $182-million apart over the five-year deal.
The NHL is expected to offer a response on Wednesday afternoon.

18. Spinner Fall - This was a very cool shoot on the Bitterroot River in Missoula Montana. All footage was shot in one morning in Late July over 3 hours. www.montanaflyfishingguide.com I decided to not take a fly rod and get as close to some big browns on the rise to our morning spinner fall. The fish were picking PMD spinners and Trico Spinners. Because I didn't have a fly rod or the excitement of hooking one of these big brown trout to distract me I was able to focus on moving slowly and sneaking in tight. At one point a well over two foot long brown swam by me and almost hit my tripod totally unaware I was there. I cranked up the gain on my Rode video mic and was able to capture the sounds of the rise. I took quite a bit of processing to get it right, but that distinct sucking noise of a trout on rhythm that we hear so clearly as anglers above all else came through. Camera Specs - Cannon 5d Mark iii shot at 1280x720 60fps, Canon ALL-I codec Sound was with Rode mic Canon 100mm Macro lens, Canon 400mmL Post Processing Shot at Prolost Flat, Adobe Premeire Pro CC, Graded with Red Giant Color Suite 2.5 Sound - Rode Video Camera Mic Bought the music at Pond5. - fly fishing video channel - Global FlyFisher

Who Wants an Empty Hospital?
"We have a moral obligation to keep people healthy," he says. "We as healthcare executives need to collectively do a better job of moving from a sick care mindset to a health/wellness mindset."
In Kaiser hospitals, he says, 70% of the time patients will be out of the ED in 60 minutes. "That's our goal," he says. "And into the ICU in 30 minutes. We have an ED doc early in the process to help with throughput."
Harper notes his professional focus is to remove barriers from a process improvement standpoint.
"My job is to push down walls—moving patients to the right place of care with fewer hurdles to cross," he says. "For example, moving a patient from discharge directly to home care with no stop in a [skilled nursing facility] sometimes."
Being able to do that means that services have truly been aligned across the continuum of care. It's an example of patient customer service as much as it is about increasing efficiency or saving money, he says.
"We as healthcare executives need to do what is right for the patient," Harper says. "Since the cost of healthcare is not sustainable for many consumers and the businesses that are paying for it, focusing on affordability is key."

This should mean insurance rates go down right?
pplemmons (4/4/2014 at 4:29 PM)
So it's "back to the future" and the future is managed care! Let's call it what it is and it's been around for a long time, as with Kaiser. All well and good, except for the hospital industry, which has a large target on its back. Does the hospital industry understand this? Sometimes I wonder if the AHA does, when they stand shoulder to shoulder with the Federal government in pushing "healthcare reform". And if the prevailing norm becomes managed care, soon enough we will have the problem of rationing care, which is the logical successor to managed care. Take a look at the British system. Be careful what you wish for.

Islamic economy initiative launched
New strategy aims to create Islamic economy that runs parallel to the existing robust economy of Dubai
- Image Credit: WAM
- Shaikh Mohammad at the unveiling of 'Dubai: Capital of Islamic Economy' initiative on Wednesday. Shaikh Maktoum Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, business leader Juma Al Majid and other senior officials attended the event.
Dubai: His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, on Wednesday announced his vision and initiative to set up an integrated platform for an "Islamic Economy".
In large print, the words "Dubai: Capital of Islamic Economy", were projected on the podium's background and facing the packed seated area, where dignitaries, business leaders and captains of industry sat.
The new strategy would establish logistics and policy infrastructure for products and services aimed at giving birth to an Islamic economy that operates parallel to the existing robust economy of Dubai.
The platform proposed will include Islamic finance instruments, Islamic insurance, Islamic contract arbitration, Islamic food industry and trade standards (Halal food), as well as Islamic quality-management standards.
Islamic economy, an all-encompassing term that refers to all economic practices carried out within a Sharia-compliant system, is a growing trend worldwide, and of which Dubai has already been a leading player and a trend-setter.
The Dubai Islamic Bank, set up in 1975, was perhaps the first modern Islamic bank to be established worldwide. The global Islamic economy has been growing fast worldwide and today accounts for $2.3 trillion in gross product activity, helped and supported by a growing community of 1.6 billion Muslims.

Dubai's new initiative is expected to further attract and promote the inflow of investments. The announced strategy would also bring Dubai closer to the Mena and Asia region markets that are fast embracing Sharia-compliant economic activities.
Shaikh Mohammad said setting up such an integrated economic framework and promoting an Islamic economy would further strengthen Dubai as an international business hub. It would lend further momentum to Dubai's well-diversified and adaptive economy, he said.
Shaikh Mohammad has appointed Dubai Crown Prince Shaikh Hamdan Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum to lead the development of the Islamic Economy initiative, transforming it into a major economic sector.
